Are you looking for practical and realistic approaches to foster equity within your organization or business? Check out UN Global Compact Network Canada's new Accelerating Systemic Change Toolkit! Designing this incredible resource was an absolute pleasure, enabling us to translate the invaluable work of the UN Global Compact Network Canada into a vibrant, user-friendly and accessible tool. We learned so much from this experience and are so excited to see this toolkit out in the world! 🌎 A special shout out to Wynnie Zhao and Brittany Gataveckas, PhD for being incredible collaborators and entrusting us to bring these impactful stories to life.🌟

We want to wish our co-founder Ashna Ali the best of luck as she moves on from her full-time role to pursue exciting new professional adventures! We will greatly miss her thoughtfulness, creativity, and top-notch meme game, but are very happy to continue our collaborations through special projects and partnerships. We can’t wait to see her take the world by storm! ✨

At Anti-Heroine Media, we're firm believers in the power of storytelling for social change. That’s why we've teamed up with Balance the Power as Communications Leads, advocating for intersectional feminist leadership that truly meets the needs of everyday people. 📅 Save the Date: February 28, 12pm EST! We're hosting an Instagram Live Event with Fora: Network for Change, diving into the critical issue of the rising cost of living in Canada. Why is this crucial? Young people, especially women, BIPOC, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, are disproportionately affected. They must be at the forefront of increasing diversity and representation in politics. We're thrilled to have Kassandra Neranjan, Gender Justice Advocate and author of Fora's latest report on a young feminist economy, joining us! Kassandra will share insights into the challenges faced by young people and guide us on addressing these issues to #BalanceThePower together. Follow Balance the Power (https://lnkd.in/grgsHJHx) and Fora (instagram.com/fora.nfc) on Instagram for updates!

Anti-Heroine Media is joining 70 feminist organizations in opposing Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's reckless proposed restrictions on the rights, freedoms, and medical care of trans youth. Feminism and trans liberation are deeply interconnected—supporting trans rights is crucial to ending gender inequality and discrimination. Amid a global backlash against gender justice, we need policymakers to strengthen protections for trans youth and trans communities, not erode them.

As we step into 2024, we reflect with immense pride on the transformations we’ve made as a studio, in addition to the array of creative and impactful storytelling projects we've had the privilege to contribute to. Here's a snapshot of some of our client work from the past year: 🔵 Wrapping up a huge project in collaboration with the World YWCA (stay tuned!). 🔵 Facilitating a workshop on crafting compelling stories to inspire action at the Canadian Race Relations Foundation's Anti-Racist Youth Lab. 🔵 Spearheading a candid conversation on the transformative power of digital media for social change as panellists at the University of Ottawa's 15th International Development Week conference. 🔵 Collaborating with Kimiya Project Lab to develop highly engaging data visualizations for the City of Ottawa. 🔵 Designing an interactive e-learning program and report for the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy, helping policymakers and government officials meaningfully incorporate the perspectives of LGBTQI+ groups and individuals into their work. 🔵 Leading the communications for Informed Opinions' new campaign, "Balance the Power" (save the date for Jan 24!). We were also fortunate to be mentored, offer our mentorship to others, and be part of a supportive community: 🔵 Being selected to receive consulting services from the University of Toronto - Rotman School of Management School of Management's Intensive Social Entrepreneurship Course, under the guidance of the exceptional Professor Laura Doering. 🔵 Participating in the #CNOY event with St. Felix Centre to raise awareness and fundraise for unhoused folks in Toronto. 🔵 Gaining insights into ethical business structure and strategy through the Flourishing Enterprise Co-lab Train the Trainer program, mentored by the inspiring Dilek and Rudy. 🔵 Mentoring others through innovative start-ups: Hayley mentored underrepresented youth as part of the Business in the Streets YCEO program, while Ashna mentored BIPOC women in business and STEM as part of Accelerate Her Future’s Virtual Accelerator Program. Last but not least, we are so fortunate to work with the brilliant Tehreem, who strategized and led our digital media throughout the fall. An immense thank you to all our friends and collaborators! We're very excited for everything that 2024 will bring. ✨ #YearInReview #WomenInBusiness #DesignAgency
